LS, Has anyone had Stem cell treatment for this disorder??
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've been reading up about the Italian Doctor who is treating patients by using Stem Cell Treatment for the diagnosis of LS, Has anyone had it done or are you investigating it like me?? Please can you share your views on this & that maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Because it's still in the experimental stages, obviously it's not available on the NHS, but in Italy it's available for around £5,500 -£6,000.
Can anyone help with extra info Thanks T

I haven't had this treatment but I am seriously thinking of having it done - after saving up for a while of course.

My question is, although it makes me feel better, it leaves me looking like a Red Box Box....Has anyone else had this reaction?..I was only diagnosed a few weeks ago, so I guess it's just a case of fining what suit my skin, or rather lack of skin!!!!! X

Hope you're well :-)
That sounds like a good routine you've got going there - it's fab that the Emu oil is helping you - I know what a godsend it is. I was freaking out for a while thinking that the steroid cream was destroying my skin down there, but it's nice to know that the Emu oil helps moisturise and make things more comfortable. It's good that you've stopped itching!
When I was first diagnosed (2 years ago) I was put on a cream called Protopic and one called Peitel for the itching, but now I use Clovate which seems to be ok. It's very strong, though...
Best of luck at the clinic! Emma x

Hmm, that sounds weird. Is the Emu oil 100% pure? how much have you been applying? X

I use 2 tiny drops after a shower or a wee & it helps to keep that tight feeling at bay & it feels quite soothing too. I hope this is of some help to you.
